A four hour drive from Seattle, an hour and a half from Portland, and a quick jaunt from Washington's Long Beach Peninsula, Cannon Beach is a must. The site of the iconic Haystack Rock, as well as the opening sequence of the semi-cult classic, Goonies, Cannon Beach has much to recommend it: A charming downtown, a host of lovely inns and hotels, and ample hiking and recreation. And as the photos here show, Cannon Beach is also a photographer's paradise. To learn more about Cannon Beach, go to the excellent Chamber of Commerce Visitors' website.

This Cannon beach is a must see beach! I have to be honest, when I actually saw the pictures above, even though I am not into beaches, I think I will consider this as an exception! I would really love to visit this one of these days! I would like to witness its beauty in person. I would also like to take some beautiful pictures of the view just like what you did. And lastly, I would like to visit this with my family. I am sure they will feel the same way I felt towards the place.
